Lenny Kravitz’s “Sex” Cover Is A Close-Up Of His Leather-Clad Crotch

Lenny Kravitz’s “Sex” cover isn’t quite as eye-watering as Nicki Minaj’s internet-breaking “Anaconda” artwork but it certainly leaves a lasting impression. The lead single from the rock veteran’s upcoming Strut LP is blessed with a close-up picture of his leather-clad crotch. It’s reminiscent of the Rolling Stones’ Sticky Fingers cover — only without the distracting peen.

The 50-year-old (wait… why does he still look 32?) premiered the cover on Twitter this afternoon (July 25) with the simple message “soon”. Needless to say, the interest in Lenny’s new music immediately shot through the roof. This isn’t the first time the “Are You Gonna Go My Way” singer has embraced his sexy side. Who could ever forget the shower nude he tweeted in 2009? Revisit that magic moment after the jump.
